Suspects In Statehouse BMW Theft Charged

The suspects include a Ugandan national who was arrested after the recovery of the BMW in Tororo where it had been abandoned at a roadside.

The five pleaded not guilty before magistrate Enoch Cheruiyot to the robbery charges and have been released on a two million shillings cash bail each with an alternative of five million shillings bond.

Police sources claimed that the stolen car underwent alterations at Aggrey Ochieng’s garage before it was driven towards the Uganda border.

The BMW was stolen from chief inspector David Machui Maina at a gunpoint as he was driving into his home compound in Utawala, Nairobi when four armed men confronted him.

Maina was confronted by the carjackers who are suspected to be syndicate with operatives in East and Central Africa.
